You can probably leverage the preprocessor to make this a little bit easier. This is one of the areas of investigation we know about - make authoring for multiple languages/platforms/build-types easier than it is today. It would likely be a preprocessor extension of some sort. Just need some time to think it out.

Do I need to have dual > copies of my <component> definitions for 32 & 64 bit? Pretty much.. that's what I do - maintain parallel trees for the (otherwise identical) 32bit and 64bit installers. I don't use separate GUIDs simply because the maintenence of the trees is already enough overhead (ie. they're out of sync at the moment and I need to schedule some time to work through them). I believe it's an MSI limitation rather than a wix one, but it would be nice if the default changed depending on package type rather than being hardcoded to win32.. going through 500 components copy/pasting "win64" into all of them is a real drag.
